My 6 year old daughter has started sleepwalking the last month or so. I'm not that concerned, but not sure if I should be doing anything? She has come downstairs while we have still been up, but I'm worried what will happen if she went downstairs on her own in the middle of the night, and got injured or tried to go outside? She has also climbed onto the top of her bunk bed,something she does in the day to play but im worried about her doing it at night, or falling downstairs. Should I put a gate in her room? How aware are they of hazards and stairs when they are sleep walking? She has no recollection of it the next day.
Just after some advice, or feedback from people who have experienced this.
